Wow. "Months after law firms made deals with President Trump to ward off punitive executive orders, the ethics committee of the District of Columbia Bar is warning that such arrangements may require firms to drop or obtain waivers from all clients who have interests at odds with the government."

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this. But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

Sen. Paul is right. These are murders.

Rich media, poor democracy

…

This really was one of my main takeaways

Sorry, but it *is* unnerving. I agree with @rieckhoff.bsky.social that this idea that the military is Trump's personal muscle, and should kill anyone he points at, should be among the biggest stories in America right now.

Trump recognizes that Gov Pritzker will likely be his toughest opponent in 2028. If Pritzker runs for POTUS in 2028 and he can beat DJT. This is why Trump is trying to bully Chicago and Illinois (i.e. Land of Lincoln). Ironically, the attacks give Pritzker excellent national visibility.

BREAKING: Over a sharp dissent from Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Kagan & Jackson, the Supreme Court will not stop Alabama from killing Anthony Boyd tonight. Sotomayor tells the reader to count to four minutes on their phone. "Now imagine for that entire time, you are suffocating."

More corruption … billionaires and corporate chieftains paid for DJT’s $250M “ballroom” and all of them are expecting some sort of payback…

“Largest single-day protest in American history.” Roughly 2% of the population rose up to demand the restoration of democracy. So powerful. From @gelliottmorris.com open.substack.com/pub/gelliott...

Being untethered to international norms and blatant violation of US laws is not sustainable…

San Francisco protestors created a giant sign to support California’s Proposition 50 and to oppose the authoritarian policies of Donald Trump’s regime. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

As the protesters chant "show me what democracy looks like"... The vibe here is prepared, resolved, and weary. People dug in for the long term. People who have been brutalized. Respirators and goggles

The cops know this isn't a violent protest. I can tell, because four of them are just hanging out in the street, no body armor, not even looking around for situational awareness. Just vibing

ICE in 2025 is starting to look like Nazi Gestapo in 1939. When they start using pistols to kill innocent protesters, we will be at 1942. Every freedom loving American should attend a local protest at a NO KINGS event on OCT 18. Tell your friends and family!

“.. among the few business groups to challenge the Trump administration in court over policies they say will hurt employers.” 👀 @uschamber.bsky.social @wsj.com www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

That’s some peak cynicism about trying to “make sure people don’t die ..”

Im sorry Blue Sky readers, but besides her being a massive liar and propaganda pusher, she really is a “c**t.

Young republikkkans (40 and younger - so not really very young) are Nazi and Hitler lovers. Surprise, surprise …

Why isn’t every Democrat holding a press conference with this video, talking about the criminal army of thugs invading Chicago and the rest of the country, and the need to bring these criminals to justice? React as you would if this really was MS13 or something

look i'm just gonna say: everyone involved in this shit needs to go to jail

Your creativity is needed for the resistance! 🐸🐸🐸 #PDXFrog #FrogsOnTheFrontlines #50501Movement #PeoplesMovement

Stand strong and stay safe, Portland. 💙🐸 #FuckICE

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

So, for once Dems, let Dump use his hateful revenge tactics…which will adversely impact millions who voted for him and turn them against the imperial Republicans for the 2026 midterms. Stop negotiating with R-fascists.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement. Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

NEWS: Judge Karin Immergut on Saturday issued a temporary restraining order blocking Trump and Hegseth’s effort to activate the National Guard in Oregon. Immergut, a Trump appointee, was reassigned the case after DOJ sought to recuse the first-assigned judge. www.lawdork.com/p/dojs-recus...

Hey mainstream news media. Maybe do your job and let people know just how fucking crazy this guy is. He’s trying to start a civil war.

So, for once Dems, let Dump use his hateful revenge tactics…which will adversely impact millions who voted for him and turn them against the imperial Republicans for the 2026 midterms. Stop negotiating with R-fascists.

This is not legal…red or blue

“.. Judge William Young concluded, in a scathing, 161-page opinion that he described as the most crucial he’s delivered in his 30 years on the bench.” @politico.com @kyledcheney.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Hegseth speech was the worst things my eyes have ever seen. All of the things he said were so bad and caused extreme douche chills. The way he chose to pace and point to the camera was so unbelievably cringe. All so rehearsed and yet so very very bad. Pete Hegseth is the secretary of douche

Watching Pete Hegseth make a fool of himself today giving a manosphere youtuber speech to hundreds of generals has cemented my certainty: We're better than these fascists in every way. They are liars, blowhards, bullshitters. They're pathetic and insecure losers to the core, and they will not last.

In 2020, federal troops rampaged through Portland: unmarked cars, tear gas, rubber bullets. I was there. It was hellish. But we got through it then, and we will again. Portlanders are resilient. Stay peaceful, protect your rights, take care of each other. 💛

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Dude, do more>>>>

I love how Adams dropped out with just over a month to go, his name still on the ballot, and with no coalition or support to offer the other candidates, so it’s effectively useless. He ran for mayor the same way he’s been mayor. I hope he’s brought up on state charges.

Do we say a man is sane when he calls in the military to fight a war when there is no war? If such a man is not sane, do we have a solution to stop the madness if he’s in the White House?

We can dunk on Silver. But the folks wildly hyping Adams in 2021-22 included Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden. The desire for a prominent BLACK politician who was pro-police and hostile to the BLM movement was broadly shared within elite Dem circles. They ignored obvious signs he was corrupt and inept.

The Secretary of War is a creep and White Nationalist. Not someone you want around your kids….

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

When will massive numbers of the “people” say loudly and publicly that they fiercely reject this fascist authoritarianism sh*t?

trying to imagine this and can’t
